About this episode

The episode discusses food price inflation, energy price links, and the impact of the Bridgerton effect on wedding trends.

Food price inflation could become 'uncontrollable', according to the industry responsible for delivering our chilled and frozen produce. And why breaking the link between wholesale gas and electricity prices could lead to cheaper household energy bills. Also, Felicity Hannah hears from a wedding planner on why the Bridgerton effect is leading to a boom in grand country-house weddings.
